This small bead rack is designed for potters, jewelers and glass artists. It is made from two durable cast stoneware supports that are approximately 2″ (5cm) tall and comes with four 6″ (15cm) long nichrome wires. The wires rest on grooves in the rack, so they can be easily rearranged to accommodate different size pieces. The wires are heavy gauge metal and can withstand multiple firings.
The wires have a maximum weight rating of approximately 13 grams per inch (or 82 grams per 6″ wire) resulting in some deflection of the wire. For little to no deflection, the wires should carry no more than 3.5 grams per inch (or 20.75 grams per 6″ wire). For best results distribute weight evenly across the wire.
All values have been tested at cone 6, results at higher cones may vary. Maximum firing temperature is Cone 10 (1280C).
